First Presbyterian Closes as City Finds Future for Church
The First Presbyterian Church at Third and Walnut streets ended services this Sunday and Ottawa eyes a new Immanuel Baptist Mission there. Rev. Frank Martin said the mission, started June 6 in his home, could lease or purchase, with 15 members and a peak of 21. The historic building, designed by George Washburn, might be preserved, with the Presbytery deciding the building’s fate.
